Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

[sjago13]

Can this ride seriously end with the chicken dance? I really miss that

Sure. When we get back to the studio he throws a cocaine party complete with snow effect and we do the chicken dance. That was the best part about Neutron!

Am I the only one excited for this ride?
A completely fresh take on part of the New York section of the park makes me giddy. I also like Jimmy Fallon, so maybe that's why I feel so alone?! :shrug:

I'm not excited, but I'm not taking the same negative attitude everyone here wants to take with this and F&F. I think this will be a nice filler attraction that fits the theme of where it's going and is an upgrade from Twister. It's also unlikely to be a long term attraction just like a lot of attractions that have come and gone at USF.

Not everything needs to be an epic game changing Gringotts style attraction.

Twister was actually something I used to do pretty often. Never had a wait.. This ride doesn't seem like it'll have the greatest capacity so I might have to put it on the same list as Minion Mayhem, which is "Only with Express." Disaster on the other hand I used to skip most of the time so I know I'll be doing F&F more than that.

I hadn't done Disaster! Or Twister in years.

They weren't attractions that locals or repeat visitors did a lot, but they definitely ate up a lot of capacity with the casual guest.

And they weren't bad attractions. But I have to admit, I'll probably really like the Fallon ride. I'm a sucker for flight simulators.

I'll probably enjoy it to. Not something i'll likely do every time, but it'll be a nice attraction. I'm the same with flight simulators.

I'm most looking forward to the celeb cameos that I expect the ride to have.

Disaster lost me when it stopped being Earthquake. Disaster was just LAME IMO.
But at any rate, walking along that side of the park, we only really do the Mummy and then go straight to Diagon Alley.

 

[Disneyhead]

This should be an interesting experiment in pop culture relevantcy.

Ellen's hasn't aged well.

I loved the Walken musion stuff. The Rock stuff was cheesy '90s theme park fun (installed in 2007). F$F looks to be more '90s cheesy theme park fun brought to you with high tech....umm..tech.

Knowing Universal, this attraction won't be around for 20 years.

That's kind of Universal's MO though. How many rides are over 20 years old as of today? ET , Terminator, that's about it

I don't think even T2 has hit 20 yet

There you go. Longevity means little to Universal.

 

[GAcoaster]

And being a simulator/theater it can always be changed relatively inexpensively and easily. Look at Hannah Barbera/Jimmy Neutron/Minion Mayhem.

 

[Nick]

Almost. It opened in 1996.

Add on to the list Animal Actors and Horror Makeup Show. Just about everything in KidZone is over 20 actually as well.

 

[Teebin]

To be honest... Universal didn't have a clue what it was doing when they opened USO. It was built for a more naive and gullible audience. They continued tossing low budget junk at it through the 90's IMO.

IOA was a different story completely and reflected this in it's massive budget and overruns.
